Cote d’Ivoire and former Chelsea striker has stated he is not about to leave China where he turns out for Super Super League side Shanghai Shnehua.

Hide the fact

This he stated amid recent reports that he could leave, as well as his strike mate Nicholas Anelka, as the team is reported to have had ‘power’ struggle’.

While stating he will stay on in China, he could not hide the fact that he indeed misses the English Premier League

I’m really happy

- I hope more because I'm really happy here. I miss the Premier League because it's the best league in the world, but really I don't regret my choice, he told BBC Sport. 

- I just arrived like two months ago so I'm really happy. I am, I'm really happy here so I have no reasons to leave. I don't want to leave here.

I believe

- I want to stay here, as long as I can win some trophies with my team and make our fans very happy, said Drogba.

-It's difficult at the moment, but I know that there's hope and I believe, he added

Drogba was at Chelsea for eight years before leaving for China.
